nDIGITAL I/O (AES/EBU) INPUT A/B and OUTPUT L/R connectors

These XLR balanced connectors are for digital audio input (INPUT A/B) and output (OUTPUT L/R) in AES/ EBU (AES3-2003/IEC60958-4) format.

Transmission occurs at double speed when the sampling frequency is 88.2 and 96 kHz and at quad speed when 176.4 and 192 kHz.

The digital input section includes a sampling rate converter that is compatible with sampling frequencies between 32–216 kHz

The digital output section outputs the stereo signal mixed in this unit or the monitoring signal (the same sound output from the PHONES jack, including soloed tracks, etc.).

mSIGNAL GND terminal

When using a TASCAM RC-HS20PD remote control (sold separately), depending on the operating environment, the color display might flicker or noise might be heard when monitoring. If this occurs, use the SIGNAL GND terminal. (Please prepare a wire to use with the SIGNAL GND terminal.)

,CASCADE IN connector (support planned in a version upgrade)

This connector is for cascade connection input.

.CASCADE OUT connector (support planned in a version upgrade)

This connector is for cascade connection output.

/TIME CODE IN connector

This BNC-type connector is for SMPTE time code input.

!TIME CODE OUT connector

This BNC-type connector is for SMPTE time code output.

@WORD/VIDEO IN connector

This BNC-type connector is for word clock and video reference signal input. You can input a word clock signal (44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 48 kHz pull-down, 48 kHz pull-up, 88.2 kHz, 96 kHz, 176.4 kHz, 192 kHz) or a video reference signal (NTSC/PAL black burst signal, HDTV Tri-Level signal). You can also use the switch to the right to set whether or not to terminate with 75Ω.

#WORD/VIDEO THRU, WORD OUT connector This BNC-type connector is for word clock thru or output and video reference signal thru. You can output a word clock signal (thru, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 48 kHz pull-down, 48 kHz pull-up, 88.2 kHz, 96 kHz, 176.4 kHz, 192 kHz) or a video reference signal (IN connector signal thru). Use the THRU/OUT switch to set the signal output. (OUT is only for WORD.)

$75Ω OFF/ON and THRU/WORD OUT switch Use this switch to make the following settings.

•• Whether or not WORD/VIDEO IN has termination resistance (75Ω)

•• The WORD/VIDEO output THRU/OUT setting (OUT is only for WORD)

%ETHERNET connector (support planned in a version upgrade)

Use this Ethernet connector to connect with a network for file transfer and to control this unit from an external source.

When the REMOTE Connector cover is removed^REMOTE connector

Connect a dedicated RC-HS20PD remote controller (sold separately) here.

CAUTION

••

This is not an Ethernet connector (LAN, etc.). Never connect it

 

to a network using an Ethernet cable. Doing so could cause this

 

unit or network devices to malfunction.

••

When the unit is shipped from the factory, this connector has

 

a cover attached with screws in order to prevent accidental

 

connection to a network.
